JESUS, The CHRIST
His Sermon On The Mount
Matthew, Chapter 5
1. And seeing the multitudes,
he went up into a mountain: and when he was set, his desciples came unto
him:
2. And he opened his mouth,
and taught them, saying,
3. Blessed
are the poor in spirit: for their’s is the kingdom of heaven.
4. Blessed
are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.
5. Blessed
are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.
6. Blessed
are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall
be filled.
7. Blessed
are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.
8. Blessed
are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.
9. Blessed
are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.
10. Blessed
are they which are persecuted for righteousness’ sake: for their’s is the
kingdom of heaven.
11. Blessed
are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all
manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
12. Rejoice,
and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted
they the prophets which were before you.
13. Ye
are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith
shall it be salted?it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out,
and to be trodden under foot of men.
14. Ye
are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.
15. Neither
do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick;
and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.
16. Let
your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and
glorify your Father which is in heaven.
